Ankle Sprains: Molly, repeated ankle sprains can cause extensive ligament and cartilage injury. You need to figure out when it happens, and if these times can be protected with taping, bracing, high top shoes, etc. A good sports medicine podiatrist or orthopedist will help. Sometimes with this functional instability, and the fear of a bad fall, surgical repair is recommended. Dr Rich Blake
